Ingredients
- 1 pound veal scaloppine
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each veal scaloppine in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the veal scaloppine to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked veal to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Return the veal scaloppine to the skillet and coat them with the Marsala sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the Scaloppine al Marsala hot with your favorite side dish.
